Description

Calcutta [Kolkata], Royal Botanic Gardens, 1896. Folio (35.5 x 28.0 cm). Title pages to the volume, to the part, and to the work itself, [ii], 71 pp. [numbered (70)-170]; 100 lithographed plates [numbered 102-200, 110a]. All loose, in original portfolio in half morocco over printed boards. = A finely illustrated work. It deals mainly with species, subspecies and varieties in the genera Aconitum (22 taxa), Anemone (28),Clematis (19), Delphinium (76), Shorea (14), Trollius (16), and many genera with between one and ten taxa. The title calls for 99 plates, but a bis plate brings the total to one hundred, which of course is congruent with a 'century'. There is little relation with the second century of Indian plants, which was published later (1901) in the same series by King, Duthrie and Prain. A few leaves creased at edges, one plate with a vertical fold in the left margin; the text and plates are very good, mostly with only minimal foxing. Volume number on the portfolio spine, otherwise unmarked. An excellent copy.
